Sure... I don't think anyone ever claimed otherwise, and if you don't care about size, weight, and general awkwardness of use then by all means get a netbook or laptop.
Nothing like pulling out a mouse to use on the seat next to you in an airport terminal while your lap gets hot enough to sterilize you. I love trying to read on my laptop when I have nowhere to set it, I can go for maybe 10 minutes before I just want to throw the fucking thing for my arms and legs being so sore trying to balance it and read from the narrow viewing angle at the same time.
